What is SuperWylbur?

SuperWylbur is a
commercially available MVS IBM mainframe product. It is a
powerful and versatile software package designed by SuperWylbur Systems,
Inc. to boost your organization's productivity in three key areas:

SuperWylbur delivers its many capabilities in these
areas using just one MVS address space to service hundreds of users. As
a result, it vastly outperforms single user address space products such
as TSO, and so will enable your business to maximize its investment in
your existing system hardware.

How SuperWylbur Boosts Productivity

SuperWylbur is easy to learn and use. The
English-like commands and conversational style of question and response
make it appealing to your administrative, managerial and programming
staff. SuperWylbur uses resources efficiently. The
system can support more than 1,000 simultaneous users in a single
address space. SuperWylbur's built-in resource manager
prevents any one user from consuming excessive machine resources.

SuperWylbur provides each user with more than 20
simultaneously active areas of storage for interactive use. You can use
these for editing control cards and data, monitoring jobs, preparing
documentation and retrieving job output - all during a single on-line
session.

Text Editing

SuperWylbur makes it easy to create, modify, store
and retrieve text quickly and accurately, such as letters, manuals, computer programs or data.

SuperWylbur's text editing capabilities give you:

More than 20 simultaneously active working files

English-like commands, not cryptic codes

Line lengths up to 255 characters

Context ranges providing powerful search and data selection:

Complex pattern matching; if you can describe it,
SuperWylbur can match it

Column subsetting

Restriction to specific lines of working files

Combining matching lines with Boolean set operations

Selecting instances of patterns

Selection of lines relative to matched lines

Commands to list, change, move, copy and compare ranges

The ability to copy data among any of your working files
and from external data sets

Command recall from the retry stack

A session checkpoint capability

Full session recovery of all working files after session
or system failure

Creation of your own sophisticated commands

The SuperWylbur full screen editor augments these
powerful text editing commands with the ease and convenience of
3270 full screen text entry and display providing:

Access to all text editing commands

Support of any 3270 screen size

Optional tab line and software tabbing

User control of screen area size

Line and block commands

Optional highlighting and verification of modified lines

Optional hexadecimal format

A separate retry stack allowing command recall

SuperWylbur supplies extra capabilities to assist you
with text formatting, whether for a one-page memo, a
ten-page report or a manual of a thousand pages.
Formatting can be defined by means of control words
embedded in the text, or performed by command for a
"what-you-see-is-what-you-get" result. These
features may be combined with SuperWylbur's macro facility for a
powerful tool for standardizing your documents.

Macros and Panels

The SuperWylbur macro processor comprises an
interpretative programming language. Macros can
interact with the terminal in line mode or with full
screen panels, issue SuperWylbur commands, evaluate
expressions and assign the results to variables and
execute conditional logic. SuperWylbur provides a
wealth of mathematical, environmental and string
processing functions that may be used in expressions.

When programming SuperWylbur Macros you may:

Execute groups of SuperWylbur commands

Use built-in functions

Assign numeric and string variables

Branch conditionally

Nest macro calls

Trace changes in the values of variables

Pause execution at specified points

Read and write many working files concurrently

Establish exits for abnormal conditions

Prompt for terminal input

Exploit structured programming constructs such as DO WHILE

The SuperWylbur Panel facility adds:

Definition of 3270 field attributes such as protection and
intensity and control of extended attributes such as color
and highlighting

Job Entry and Retrieval

SuperWylbur's job entry and retrieval features allow you
to submit jobs to your computer's batch stream and
selectively retrieve job output at your terminal and/or
route job output to central printers or remote sites. You
can monitor the progress of your jobs through the system
and alter their status as necessary.

SuperWylbur job entry and retrieval supports:

Batch job submission

Notification of job completion

Suspension of a SuperWylbur macro until a job finishes

Inquiry on job status

Control of job status, class and priority

Selective retrieval of output data sets into a working file

Disposition and routing of job output

All of these capabilities may be automated by the use of SuperWylbur
macro programs.
